Stop chasing your tail like a mongrel. Bankrupt countries and individuals don't get loans, they get bailouts. Sinking banks and companies don't get loans, they get bailout packages. Ghana defaulted on her future on the first bailout so worry about that.

The Ghanaian economy is great
That is why we have a larger economy than you have.

countries who sink themselves in huge debts turn to be less developed and less productive as the debt holds them back.
That is why kenya is lacking behind Ethiopia and Tanzania has even surpassed you by a slim margin

Nominal GDP is a measure of a nation's productivity in dollar terms
meaning, you will have to convert a nation's currency to dollars to get that hence the manipulations.



PPP measures that same productivity of the nation by picking a scale which removes currency.

Hence economist dont compare two economies using Nominal GDP but PPP.

Now that ive taught you economics 101, never make the mistake.



Stop deceiving yourself that you purchased more houses or cars than Ethiopians.
Do you have a reading problem?
Your real estate market has collapsed with empty malls
empty office spaces and all of that.

buildings being confiscated by court order and all of that.

gallivant:


You are chasing your own tail hobbit.

What is this fool talking about? PPP encompasses things like exchange rates to bring an equilibrium or parity in currencies to measure purchasing power of the different denominations on the same product. It doesn't measure economic productivity. You are stupid and wasting my time.

PPP is the reason why China is the largest economy in the world.

their PPP already indicated they have higher productivities than Kenya


Worse of all, Ghana with 30 million people has a higher PPP than Kenya.
This means, an even higher productivity level per capita

The tallest building in Africa is in Sandton,South Africa



Even before it was built the tallest building in Africa was Johannesburg's Carlton Centre

Tallest in Africa – for now

While the completed building will become the tallest building in South Africa and Africa, the title for the latter will only be temporary, as Kenya has plans to steal it within the next three years.

The Pinnacle Tower in Nairobi, when completed, is planned to stretch over 300 metres into the air. Construction on The Pinnacle launched in January 2018

We are yet to see locusts in Tz,and if they come,the government is ready to fight them within hours. We are not like some shithole nations which can't fight a small thing like locust.

And am surprised at your lack of understanding on cassava.who told u cassava is useless? Actually, cassava is more useful than maize.Many nations like Thailand have embraced cassava farming to boost their exports.Cassava is very useful on industrial production of foods.That's why in Tz,recently we have factories which have been constructed to process cassava into starch for export market!

PPP puts the productivity of an economy on an equity scale.
Since we all know GDP measures productivity,
what do you think PPP ?

PPP is a measure of productivity without the nonsense of fiat currency manipulation

That's their misdoing,Magufuli wanted to rival Kenya,rem one time he said"Kenya think that they have everything beautiful,we also have our new bridge".

Tanzanians Are Losing Their Heads After Associated Press Claimed Mt. Kilimanjaro is in Kenya

Remember how Tanzanians blame Kenya for all their troubles, they are at it again. This time it involves the Kilimanjaro.

A short background.

Rivalry between Kenya and Tanzania has reached insane heights since President Magufuli took over power. When Tanzania built a ‘suspension bridge’ in Dar es Salaam a few months ago, they were quick to rub it on Kenya’s face. President Magufuli himself led the assault, taking a swipe at Kenya during the official opening of the gate.

“This is the only bridge of its kind in East and Central Africa. Go to Uganda, Kenya, DRC, there’s no bridge like this one,” he said.

“And that’s why those who think everything good is in their country have started writing. They said Mt. Kilimanjaro is theirs, Olduvai gorge etc.” he said,

A few months before the bridge, Raila Odinga’s daughter Rosemary Odinga, speaking at the International Young Leaders Assembly (IYLA), stated that Olduvai Gorge is in Kenya (she later apologized). Tanzanians declared war on her, writing open letters right, left and centre.

The rivarly has continued in regional online forums, with netizens from the two countries measuring dicks on anything from skyscrapers to roads to food security to national budgets.

Tanzanians see themselves as a previously sleeping nation that has woken up and will soon take Kenya’s position as East Africa’s largest economy.

The feeling expressed by Tanzanians online is clearly the government’s stand.

What started a little during Kikwete’s reign has now gained momentum. Kenya Airways having its flight frequency reduced while British owned Fast Jet gets a free pass, Kenyan tour drivers being turned back at the border.. etc.

Currently, there’s a big issue Tanzania is frustrating Kenya on. They have refused to sign an agreement with the rest of EAC countries, that will allow the region to export certain goods to the EU tax free.

EU offers preferential treatment to regional blocs and low income countries. In East Africa, Kenya is the only country not classified as low income, that means we’re ruled of a preferential agreement in that regard.

Our only alternative is to negotiate an agreement with the EU as a regional bloc – East African Community. The details have been ironed out, Uganda, Rwanda and Burundi have signed, but Tanzania has refused. To them, it doesn’t matter whether they sign it or not, because as a low income country, they already qualify for untaxed exports to the EU.

If they totally fail to sign within the next two or three weeks, Kenya will have to pay a tax of up to 22% for it’s flowers and vegetables to the EU. That makes our products uncompetitive and soon people may start losing jobs in Naivasha.

The only thing Tanzania gains from this is Kenya’s downfall.

The problem is however more complex than it appears. Tanzania has long accused Kenya of benefiting more from the collapse of the original EAC. Kenya Airways, then East African Airways, is cited as one of the corporations we ‘stole’ from the community.

According to Tanzania, the new EAC is also tailor-made for Kenya’s economic benefit, and that’s why they’ve been slow to adopt it. That has led the way to the rise of the ‘coalition of the willing’, which excluded Tanzania in infrastructural matters.

It is not uncommon for two countries sharing a border to be the agents of each other’s downfall, but Tanzania takes it to the next level.

While Tanzania contributes virtually nothing to the Kenyan economy, Kenya is in the top 4 of the country’s sources of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI). Yet they keep making tailor-made laws to keep us out.

Tanzania accuses Kenya of exploiting them, but the same can also be said to be true with their SADC partners South Africa. They’ve opened up their market to the South Africans letting them dominate their economy in all aspects. Curiously, they see Kenya as a bigger threat than South Africa.

Back to the Kilimanjaro, it happened that a prominent South African rally driver, Gugu Zulu, died while attempting to climb the mountain a few days ago. International media picked up the story and the Associated Press in particular indicated that Kilimanjaro is in Kenya.

What should have been a simple error quickly attracted the wrath of Tanzanians online, who demanded a retraction and apology from AP and other publications which it distributed the story to.

But that’s beside the point. The question remains, why does Tanzania feel threatened by Kenya?

Is it inferiority complex coupled by blind nationalism? Or do they have genuine concerns?

Relations between the two countries will only get worse. With a national budget more than twice as big as Tanzania’s and the gap widening every year, Kenya will continue to feel invincible. And with government/parastatal owned skyscrapers coming up everyday in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania will continue to believe it’s only a matter of time before they’re kings of East Africa.
